Has anyone on here ever had a dog that had very bad seizures, and if so, how did you treat it?
Recently a good friend of mine has been faced with this dilemma and it's getting to the point now where he may just have to put her down. It's always sad no matter the age, but this is an otherwise healthy dog and only 3 years old. They've treated it with a half dozen different pills over the course of the last year and nothing has helped. It's progressing pretty quickly and the vets office says they have no idea what's causing them. They've done scans for a deeper look with no luck. They are currently paying $154 a month for pills and as you can imagine, have a reached a point where the obvious thing to do is to put her down.
We've all heard that cannabis is very helpful for those who suffer from seizures in humans. I'm wondering if anyone has tried to treat it in their dog. If so, did you treat with cbd or pure cannabis oil? Topical or edible? Was there a way to figure out proper dosage? I know edibles are hard as hell to detect for potency.
Is this animal cruelty? IMO not any worse then having to watch her convulse on her back 7 times in two days. He simply wants to try all options before making the decision. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
Thanks
